Black Bay 58

[Automotiveromance]

Here is mine, this is one from the first batch. I put on a set of Helenarou hands and I swapped out the setting lever spring for one without date position. So now the crown only has 2 positions like gen: winding and hand setting.

Great ! Nice job.

Where did you find a setting lever spring? Which one I mean.... Would like to do the same !

I pulled one from a swatch no date ETA 2840 movement.

Those hands look a lot like the v2 white hands we're seeing. How do you order these parts?

Hi, just received my bb58, however the clasp is not closing properly, anyone else has the same problem or any idea of a fix? Here's a picture compared to another Heritage BB I have.

This review pic of a gen shows the clasp not sitting flush either.

Also in the pic, notice the lugs on gen are slightly filed to have a more angular edge that flares away from the bracelet than the straight/90* lugs ends on the zf.

nice! Did you do that all yourself?

From Helenarou, they are the ‘HERITAGE BLACK BAY Gold Super Lume Hand with Taller Stem for ETA 2824-2 2836-2’

A quick Google search will pull up their website.

Yes, it honestly isn’t that much work if you’re comfortable with pulling apart a movement. It involves removing the hands, dial and taking apart the keyless work. Then rebuild the keyless with the new setting lever spring which has 2 notches instead of 3. If you’re afraid to screw something up, any competent watchmaker can breeze through it.

Hey, here are 2 close up shots of my Gen BB58 and the clasp is perfect, and if the clasp does not sit flush on a gen take it back to your AD and they will fix it ASAP

Would go for one from PureTime. It’s not being touted as “V2”. However, the ZF version they have in stock has addressed the lume and crown height.

Just received mine. Lume issue seems fixed but crown/tube still seems the same. The tube on yours is shorter?

Sorry if I missed that in this thread - do you have ZR rep too?

It's not that the clasp can't sit flush, it's that it doesn't stay flush. The fold over tab has slots on the inside for receiving the spherical friction nubs. The slots allow the fold over tab to swing out slightly during wear.

My rep does this exact thing, but your gen shouldn't.

Yea, same. Received mine last week and the tube looks longer than some I’ve seen here. Still like the watch, though.

My crown and tube appears to be shorter.
This watch is certainly all over the place at the moment in terms of consistency. Maybe that’s why PureTime haven’t listed it as a v2 yet.

 

[jackflash]

There’s still a slight lume mismatch, the 12, 3, 9, 6 markers are cream, which is correct. Where as the other markers and hands are too white.

Nope, mine is a GEN!

You bought yours from PureTime? How long ago? I got mine from Chazing

Yeap, PureTime. Ca. 4 weeks ago.

can you post some pics like these so that we can see tube length on GEN, thanks
